The study aimed to examine post-traumatic stress disorder and the most effective coping methods for a sample of Palestinians after the Jerusalem Wall War (May 2021) and their relationship to the following variables: gender, age, educational level, social status and place of residence. The study followed the descriptive method in order to verify the formulated hypotheses. The study sample consisted of 590 subjects, 236 males and 354 females. A special website was built for this purpose and published after verifying the validity and reliability of the study tool on the study community through the official authorities. Data were collected from them during a period that lasted from 01/06/21-16/07/21. After collecting the data, an appropriate statistical processing was carried out according to the study questions to come up with the results and categorize them according to the answer for each paragraph. The following methods were used for this study: Measures of dispersion and central tendency, T. Test and Analysis of Variance Test. The results of the study showed a high rate of post-traumatic stress disorder by 66.6%, and there were statistically significant differences at the level of the total degree of the post-traumatic stress disorder scale according to the variable of place of residence in favor of Gaza. There were also no statistically significant differences at the level of the total degree of the post-traumatic stress disorder scale according to the age variable (less than 20 years, 20-40 years, 40-60 years, 60 years and over). The results also showed that individuals with primary educational level and below are more likely to suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder compared to their more educated peers in other groups. The results also showed a less flexibility among the Palestinians inland (living in Israel) in dealing with events and the ability to look to a better future compared to Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem.

In recent decades, new design methods have emerged in architectural domain depending on the computer as a design tool. The ill-defined nature of architectural problem and the designer subjective preferences have required the use of objective methods of knowledge analysis such as exploration. Previous studies on design computing have described exploration in relation to varied design operations; the most important of them are the search and evaluation processes. The paper puts forward a theoretical framework for exploration in design computing which is able to differentiate the use of exploration among various computational tools. It defines the aims of exploration, the roles of exploration in a design process, the sequence of exploration activities in a design process, and the executor of exploration. The roles of exploration include searching both the design problem space and design solution space; whereas in the latter, exploration is a tool of generating and evaluating design alternatives. The framework is used to identify the tasks of exploration in some design computing tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The low pressure steam Turbine blades are suffering especially the longest parts a bad history of failure. The breakage reasons are unknown due to its complexity. The aim of this work concentrated for the analysis of stresses at the last stage blades in Baji thermal power station. No records have been recorded of breakage incident at any other stages. The aim of the designer is to find way of reducing stresses due to centrifugal force.(ANSYS 12.1) is used for obtaining various stresses in case. The blades without lacing rod, the blades with lacing rod. It was concluded throughout using (ANSYS) Techniques, analysis increasing stresses at the leading and trailing edge of blade root and a stress concentration at the upper mid of the blade. This indicates why a failure at the lacing rod and aerofoil occurred in this station. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present work performs mechanical buckling analyses and experimental investigation on square plates with central cutout with (circular and elliptical) shape and with different size under uniaxial compressive loading, clamped from the loaded sides and free from others. The plates were mostly used in aircraft structures, rocket and automobiles is aluminum alloy (Al-2024 T3) because it has a high strength to weight ratio. The determination of critical buckling load of metallic plate is an important factor in determining the structural stability, which consider the best examination for buckling behavior. Experimental investigation was carried out on square plates by using strain gages. The experimental results for buckling load were compared with analytical results by using finite element structure analysis technique (F.E.M) i.e. using (ANSYS) software. Results have been presented that the square plates with circular and elliptical cutouts decrease in buckling strengths as the cutout sizes were increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents results of the comparison between the use of induction motor current signature, vibration signature, and acoustic signal analysis methods to detect broken rotor bars fault. The results have taken at healthy and faulty conditions at different speeds due to change of load. It is a comparison between three ways to determine the sensitivity for detecting faults and to adopt the best technology in detecting damages in order to increase the reliability of the system. Signals are been analyzed in time and frequency domains. The value of the root mean square of the current signal, the peak value of vibration signal, and the sound pressure level of the machine sound have monitored for healthy and faulty conditions. The laboratory tests show that the results of analyzing the current signature is considered one of the most sensitive to detect the rotor broken bar faults in its early stages¡ while the vibration signal method is less sensitive to detect the fault in the initial stages because of the presence of other components in the vibration signal. But the acoustic method is not reliable method for detecting this type of the faults. This is due to the presence of noise in the environment and fault low order frequencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This present research presents an experimental study on the behavior of the compacted concrete filled in cylindrical steel molds with dimensions of (100 mm Diameter and 200 mm Length). In this study, different compaction pressure values have been used to compact concrete mixtures, which differ in water to cement rates using electronic compression machine. Then, compression and tension strength of a concrete at the age of (28) days, under compaction pressure in its fresh state, compared with the compression and tension values of a concrete, of the same mixing rates, unexposed to pressure, in order to study the effect of compaction pressure on the concrete in its fresh state, on the compression and tension values of the solid concrete. (90) Specimens under the impact of the stresses of compression and tension at the age of (28) days have been tested and the effect of water to cement rates and the compaction pressure on the maximum resistance of the columns have been tested. The results showed, that the compaction stresses of the concrete, affect the ultimate capacity of the columns, where they increase the compression and tension resistance of the concrete at a certain limited value of subjected compaction pressure value in the fresh state, and that the mixture with (w/c = 0.45) requires the minimum value of compact pressure to produce the maximum value of concrete resistance, while the mixtures with (w/c = 0.50) and (w/c = 0.55) require higher values of compact pressure, in order to introduce higher values of concrete resistance.
